Ka is a wheel

Inexorably? …Really? It can’t be turned off?

Religious extremists, you say?

Yes, we should all avoid discussion with humans at all costs, and of course already know everything anyway.

Imagine not knowing something and asking a human for more information? Ew

Sounds like it’s time to bring the U.S some Freedom! 😎🪖🕊️

If only my TV had a Jellyfin app, I could switch, but alas it doesn’t. Got to use Plex if I want to watch stuff from any home streaming thingy. That said, it’s free to do that, at least.

I just don’t have the money or time to buy an external box and fiddle with it to get it running these days either, otherwise I’d build a modern version of the XBMC server I used to have in days gone by :-(

Indeed.

Suddenly? Hasn’t it been a common go-to line from those in charge for thousands of years?

You stay far, FAR away from that shit, is what you do.

Scanning people’s entire history for political leanings, etc? That’s some deeply dystopian stuff right there.

It’s easy to forget that these sorts of communities are dictatorships with only as much transparency as the owner wants to share. Usually they’re benevolent dictators, so we don’t think about it too much. But they can change in a heartbeat - and we don’t ever really know what they’re really thinking, or doing behind the scenes.

When the mask slips and they reveal this sort of thing, thinking we’ll just accept it and keep living under their rule, it’s time to read the red flags and GET OUT.

Hopefully someone compiles a list of places that do this stuff, so we can avoid them like the plague <3

What?

Your comment’s got some unreadable corrupted text there.

especially if it’s using sim/esim card. Those mobile carriers can literally do whatever the fuck they want to your phone and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Wow that’s wild, how does my SIM card allow my carrier to do whatever they want to my phone?

On the face of it, that sounds like a gigantic breach of privacy. Can they look at my photos, capture my screen, read my stored app data, intercept outbound Internet traffic before it’s encrypted, etc? That’s wild.

Not to mention that I bought my phone separately, so it’s got nothing to do with them. As one might imagine, I only added a SIM in order to receive traditional telephone calls, it’s not otherwise useful to me.

Gotta love idiots that cross the road while the rest of us are waiting for the traffic lights to turn red.

No point gambling your life to save an extra 8 seconds. One day they won’t be so lucky. But some people are just stupid.

Don’t worry too much, you’re all just the fun little people that live in my phone, even Donald Trump is in there!

Maybe if I shake my phone a bit you’ll fall into the same memory address as him? Worth a shot

“They just leave it at the door”.

Fucking EXACTLY. They’ve started copying bloody American delivery idiots and started dumping parcels outside the house in plain view of the street (what’s to stop someone from stealing it, or the rain from destroying it?!).

Absolutely infuriating! Imagine a parcel travelling hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles through a complex logistics network to get all the way to my door…

… And then instead of delivering it (it must be put through the letterbox or handed to a resident, as has always been the case for any delivery here), they just say “fuck it I’ll just dump it”, and they fuck off. Often they don’t even bother knocking or waiting 30 seconds for someone to come to the door at all, even for the elderly.

Naturally they don’t even close the garden gate behind them either. Utter disrespect for everyone and everything.

Oh, and that’s all IF they even get the right house! Nevermind that the address is clearly printed on the package, and clearly shown on the house. They like to not only deliver to the wrong house, but THROW the parcel into a complete stranger’s BACK GARDEN over a tall fence, and then have the nerve to take a photo of it as “proof of delivery”! The cheek!

Absolute cunts this new generation of delivery people, no basic respect, not doing the job properly at all, half the time the parcel never even arrives (and yet they’ll say they attempted delivery - no you didn’t, I was watching the garden the whole morning).

I fucking hate them with a passion.

Any new delivery company that is founded with the motto “we deliver parcels like it’s 2005” is going to be hugely successful, because we’re all sick of the current useless American-style lot we have now. Even Royal Mail’s gone to shit the same way these days, and they were the last bastion of proper delivery people.

So true fam, good thing we’ve got the best, most free democracy here in England 👏♥️

the device directly targets the olfactory bulb in your brain with “focused ultrasound through the skull”

Fascinating! I never would have expected this outcome.

Enjoy your free speech while you still have it because this is a clear attempt to erase that right.

Given that we’re on a global community, how will this erase my right to free speech here in Europe?

Or were you, like so many, just assuming everybody online lives in your country, so why bother mentioning what country you’re talking about in your title or description?

“turning revolutionary”

Please, in the West we’ve had huge societal crisis after crisis, crumbling rights, services, and stability, etc, and nothing has turned revolutionary.

You think people who are willing (if you look at supposedly developed, modern places like the USA for example) to put up with a clearly predatory evil healthcare & police system, fascist government, almost no basic workers rights, disappearing people from the streets into concentration camps, etc etc, are going to ‘turn revolutionary’ over ANYTHING?

We’ve had every opportunity, every chance to stand up and fight for what’s right for us and others, and the best we can do are a few days of mild protests with some cardboard signs (which, given how far we’ve allowed our rights to be eroded are just as likely to land us in jail, or labeled as extremists).

Turning revolutionary my arse.

Why would the electricity company making extra profits affect how beneficial the DCs are to a region?

Sure, it’d pay for a few more CEO yachts, but that’s about it.
